Susan May Tell's iconic portrait of André Kertész is included in an Exhibition of his photographs, "Converging Journeys in the Modernist Age," at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art. Andre selected this portrait, taken during one of Susan's visits, for the frontispiece of his 1985 autobiography, Kertész on Kertész. It was also used in The New York Times for his obituary. The current exhibition also includes paintings by Kertész's friend and fellow Hungarian, Theodore Fried.
